As always, assume what is liste d first is the greatest risk [also calle d “most dangerous”] and probability [also called “most likely”] and the last is least.
Given the “Natural” events that have occurred across America since 2006 [i.e. post-Katrina], are the ranking of riskiest/most dangerous events in the “Natural” threats and hazards in the table on p2 logical? Also, Why or why not?

Review of the Department of Homeland Security’s Approach to Risk Analysis explores
how DHS is building its capabilities in risk analysis to inform decision making.
The department uses risk analysis to inform decisions ranging from high-level policy
choices to fine-scale protocols that guide the minute-by-minute actions of DHS employees.
Although DHS is responsible for mitigating a range of threats, natural disasters,
and pandemics, its risk analysis efforts are weighte d heavily toward terrorism.
In addition to assessing the capability of DHS risk analysis methods to support decision-
making, the book evaluates the quality of the current approach to estimating risk ,
and discusses how to improve current risk analysis procedures.
Additionally, review of the Department of Homeland Security’s Approach to Risk Analysis recommends that DHS continue to build its integrated risk management framework.
In conclusion, it also suggests that the department improve the way models are developed and used and also, follow time-tested scientific practices, among other recommendations.
